[Observed annually on May 17, the] Day represents an annual landmark to draw the attention of decision makers, the media, the public, opinion leaders and local authorities to the alarming situation faced by lesbian, gay, bisexuals, transgender and intersex people and all those who do not conform to majority sexual and gender norms. 5, record 1, English, - International%20Day%20Against%20Homophobia%2C%20Transphobia%20and%20Biphobia

May 17 was first known as the "International Day against Homophobia" and mainstreamed through its acronym "I.DA.HO." In 2009, Transphobia was added explicitly in the title of the name, in the recognition of the very different issues at stake between sexual orientation and gender expression. "IDAHOT" became another popular acronym used alongside the initial one. Since 2015, Biphobia is added to the title, to acknowledge the specific issues faced by bisexual people. 5, record 1, English, - International%20Day%20Against%20Homophobia%2C%20Transphobia%20and%20Biphobia

Déclaré Journée internationale contre l'homophobie, la transphobie et la biphobie, le 17 mai marque le jour où, en 1990, l'Organisation mondiale de la santé a rayé l'homosexualité de sa liste des maladies mentales reconnues. Cette célébration mondiale de la diversité des orientations sexuelles et des genres a été mise sur pied en vue d'attirer l'attention des décideurs, des leaders d’opinion, des mouvements sociaux, du public et des médias sur la violence et la discrimination dont les personnes GLBTAQ [gaies, lesbiennes, bisexuelles, transgenres, intersexuelles, allosexuelles et en questionnement] sont victimes partout dans le monde. 4, record 1, French, - Journ%C3%A9e%20internationale%20contre%20l%27homophobie%2C%20la%20transphobie%20et%20la%20biphobie

That contract involved, in my view, an obligation on the part of Devon Lumber to use its best effort to fill as expeditiously as possible those purchase orders received by it from East Coast. I am satisfied that until May 17 that obligation had been met. But there could be no legal justification for Mr. Gill' s on that day, merely because East Coast indicated that it would claim a charge-back, unilaterally renouncing his company's further then-standing obligations. His doing so amounted, in my opinion, to at least a technical breach of his agreement with East Coast.(Recueil des arrêts du Nouveau-Brunswick, Maritime Law Book, 90 R.

On estime que le Royaume-Uni a une ressource de vent en mer très importante. Aussi bien qu'être situés sur la terre, la possibilité de mettre des parcs d'éoliens en mer, où des vents puissants soufflent systématiquement, est maintenant à l'étude. L'énergie éolienne en mer implique de fixer fermement les bases des éoliennes sur le fond de la mer et à s'assurer que les turbines peuvent résister aux conditions régnantes, qui sont beaucoup plus hostiles que celles sur la terre. 1, record 3, French, - %C3%A9nergie%20%C3%A9olienne%20en%20mer

Aujourd'hui on développe l'éolienne offshore. Cette technique consiste à placer les éoliennes au large des côtes où le vent est plus fort mais aussi plus stable. Autre avantage, la visibilité des éoliennes s'en trouve réduite. 5, record 3, French, - %C3%A9nergie%20%C3%A9olienne%20en%20mer
